Tonight it was the turnover on the entry pass to Fitz with a few minutes left and then the horrible turnover under a minute. We have to play perfect to win against anybody left on our schedule.

Fitz looks disinterested at times but he is a PF, just not a guy that plays hard if his offense isn't going. Rudd is 6-9, 230+ with good wing span and hops. He is another guy that needs to understand that when the going get tough, the tough gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing out of position and is not a big man down low like weneed to be. He is a spot up shooter, definitely not a center. Same thoughts about Rudd playing out of position effecting there play. Austin and injuries have put everyone out of position. I just keep telling myself rebuilding year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect much out of him playing the 5 when he is ONLY suited for playing the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have enough good players patiently biding their time on the bench to take over when you lose the likes of the 3 we lost this year. Hopefully, we're going to be able to build towards that with the new facilities but the conference upheaval could play a factor in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great recruiting class coming in next year to supplement the experience gained this year. Obviously need the infusion of bigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is another guy that needs to understand that when the going get tough, the tough gets going. Vega, I respect and enjoy reading your posts about basketball and will add a little bit more about why I said that statement above. Fitz is our closest thing to a PF but he lacks a post up game, especially when playing people of equal size to him. He is more of a pick and pop, step away from the basket type forward. When he posts up down low and goes at the rim he gets rejected on a regular basis. Rudd is a 3 man, He may be 230lbs but he is not a power forward. He has no leverage, this why when he attacks the rim off the dribble he gets bodied away and his inability to post up against a 4 man. Both players seem to have gotten tired of having to defend much bigger guys on the defensive end, guys they wouldn't have to guard as much if the academic people would have let our recruit in.
